A/N: (waves) Hi everybody! Sorry it's taken me so long to update – I've been sick:( But now I've got Kaiba's socks and am feeling much better! (Thank you Tie-Dyed Trickster!) Wow!!! Thank you to everybody who reviewed:D I luf you gals (and guys)! OK, quick note, I was asked if the boys from season 3 would be joining the chaos – unfortunately, no. I have only seen seasons 1 and 2 so far. Anyway, enough author's note! On with the story:D
Chapter 5: Run for Your Life!
Zane scrambled over the wall in front of the abandoned dorm and sprinted across the open space, jumping the wall on the other side like a hurdle. He knew they'd be after him any second now. The composure which Zane Truesdale had always prided himself on maintaining at all times had cracked a long while back – somewhere in between being constantly called 'Zany' or, worse still, 'Zanikins' and some freakish fan girl having the audacity to kiss him. By now, the panic he was feeling might even be starting to show up on his face! At least they hadn't managed to strip him down to boxers and a towel – Zane was still wearing his pants and shoes.
He paused for a moment to catch his breath, wiping a little sweat from his forehead with the back of one hand.
"There you are!" Zane jumped at the shout and spun around in time to see a girl dressed all in black jump nimbly over the wall next to him, landing noiselessly on the forest floor. She bowed slightly as she stood up. Much to his annoyance, Zane discovered that he had frozen again.
The fan girl was carrying a large black bundle with her proudly and offered it to him on out stretched eager hands.
"I found this again for you! You look way hotter in black anyway! I even managed to find the Underworld Deck again!!!" She was smiling broadly and Zane had gone so pale that he was nearly transparent. The mere mention of the 'Underworld Deck,' however, was enough to jump start the eldest Truesdale's legs again and there was practically a sonic boom as he took off, legs moving so fast that they were a blur.
"No, wait!!! Come back!!!" shouted the fan girl running after him. "I want to be your Kaiseress!"
(on the beach near the cliffs in the spot where Atticus normally goes surfing)
A fan girl wearing a Hawaiian print shirt that was too large for her sat on the warm sand leaning against the hard rock surface of the cliff face happily strumming the ukulele she had procured from Atticus's dorm room and watched the other fan girls argue. She plucked a few more notes and sighed shifting to find a slightly more comfortable position. Another fan girl who was running to join the arguing mob paused a moment in front of the girl on the sand.
"Hey, Becky, aren't you going to join in?"
From her seat against the rock, Becky looked up at the other fan and smiled contentedly.
"I've got his shirt. I've got his ukulele. I don't need his arm to go with it."
(approximately twenty feet away in the center of the mob of squabbling fan girls)
"He's mine!!!"
"No, he's mine!!!"
"Mine!!!"
"Mine!!!"
"I saw him first!"
"No you didn't!!!"
"Yeah, I saw him first!"
"No, I did!!!"
"Mine!!!"
"Mine!!!"
"Mine!!!"
"MINE!!!"
They sound like demented seagulls, he thought as one fan girl gave another a bloody nose for no apparent reason. Atticus felt like everyone's favorite toy – or, more accurately, everybody's favorite tug-a-war rope. It seemed like every fan girl had a hold of a different part of his body or clothing and was pulling him in a different direction.
Staring up at the sky over head, Atticus yelled as loudly as he could,
"Whoever it was, that I did whatever I did to, to make me deserve this – I'm really, REALLY sorry!!!"
(below deck on Aster Phoenix's yacht in his bedroom)
The silver haired duelist muzzily opened one eye and then the other. That was weird… why was he in his cabin? The last thing Aster remembered he had been on deck looking at the sea. Maybe he had fallen asleep and one of his crew members had brought him down, though, that didn't seem like they would do.
He tried to sit up but immediately stopped at the horrible woozy sensation this caused in his head. Uhg! What had hit him? He felt absolutely terrible! Aster settled for rolling his head to one side to get a better look at the rest of his room. Suddenly, as he began to move again, a huge face loomed over him.
"Aster, baby, you're awake!!!"
The only response poor Aster could manage was: "AAARGH!!!"
(outside of the Slifer Red dorm)
Jaden stood miserably outside of the dorm and concentrated on trying to breathe as he waited. The fan girl, Rebecca, was still latched around his chest crushing his ribs and giggling quietly and creepily to herself every so often. It had taken nearly an hour to get to the dorm handicapped so. If he'd been physically capable of it, Jaden would have sighed with relief when he finally saw Chazz return limping from around the corner of the Slifer building sporting a crowbar. The boys had tried several ingenious – and several more not so ingenious – ways of attempting to remove Rebecca from Jaden already but thus far nothing had come even close to being able to extract Jaden from his fan girl's embrace.
Chazz applied the crowbar and began to pry apart the girl's arms with a malicious smile that said 'This is for making me limp for the past hour and a half!' Finally the fan girl came off with an audible 'pop.' She stood looking confused and dismayed. Apparently uncertain of what to do next, the girl stumbled slowly away in a state of shock. Clutching at his bruised ribs Jaden let out a sighing gasp of relief.
"Thanks, Chazz!" Jaden flopped to the ground massaging his chest.
"Whatever, Slacker."
The two Slifers sat in a less uncomfortable than normal silence for several minutes not realizing that more trouble was hot on their trail dressed all in white and carrying a double headed battle ax – literally. It was anyone's guess where Kittuna, loyal fan girl of the Society of Light Sartorius, had managed to find a battle axe on Academy Island, but found one she had and she was out for revenge. Not only was she out for revenge, but Kittuna wasn't alone anymore. She was now joined by Karin and Kate who were also both dressed all in white and wielding deadly weapons – well, in a manner of speaking. While Karin had a climbing ax, Kate was carrying a packet of decaf coffee which, she had said to the others' skeptical looks, her mom had told her was the deadliest and most evil weapon in the world. Neither of the others had felt like arguing this point.
"CHARGE!!!" yelled Kittuna as she finally spotted Chazz and Jaden catching their breath in the long shadows being thrown by the dorm building. The boys jumped but were too sore to be able to run, though they did attempt extremely fast limping. The white clad fan girls, however, were too fast for them and they were soon surrounded.
"Now," announced Kittuna. "You shall pay for the wrongs you have done to the Society of Light! You shall be…" she paused dramatically, "thrown to your fan girls!!! Mwahahahahaha!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Jaden and Chazz started at her in horror but Karin and Kate just nodded appreciatively at the impressive display of diabolical laughter.
"She's mental," mutter Chazz.
(in some random open clearing on Academy Island)
"WE'VE GOT SY!!! WE'VE GOT SY!!!" A new group of Syrus fan girls rushed passed baring the newly stolen Sy aloft.
Two other very annoyed but separate groups of fan girls ran after the girls carrying Syrus with intermittent yells of, "Give him back!!!" and "We had him first!!!"
(on a path in the woods a good distance away from the Ra Yellow dorm)
Bastion ducked quickly behind a tree as he heard footsteps coming. Well, actually, to be accurate – something which Bastion had always prided himself on being – it was two sets of footsteps and coming from different directions. At least one set, the Ra student suspected, belonged to Noire, Allie, or Lena, but the second set wasn't running so he highly doubted it was one of them as well.
Sure enough Allie was the cause of half the pounding and in her rush, she ran straight into the second person on the path. The other person was a tall thin nineteen year old girl with straw colored hair pulled back into a pony tail. She was wearing a classy, fitted dark suit and a pair of sunglasses.
"Oh, hi," said the younger fan girl straightening up. "I'm Allie. Who are you?"
"The name's Bond," said the girl, pulling her shades half way down her nose and peering over them, "Jane Bond. You may have heard of my brother."
"James?"
"No! Dean! Why would I have a brother named James?"
Allie looked thoroughly confused but soldiered on anyway.
"So are you here after?"
"The Headmaster of the Ra dorm," said Jane looking dreamy.
"You're after the Headmaster of the Ra Yellow dorm???"
"Yes! He's so… undercover!!!"
(under a tree at the edge of the woods near the Slifer dorm)
A small group of fan girls stood under the tall tree in a tight cluster.
"Come on, we know he's in there!"
"Yeah, spit him out!"
Pharaoh merrowed as one of the fan girls shook him.
"Spit out Professor Banner already!!!"
"Poor Professor Banner!"
"Let him out!" The girls glared at the cat. Suddenly a small brunette girl burst through the circle and snatched Pharaoh from the other girl's hands.
"Don't do that to poor Pharaoh!" she cried and sprinted away towards the woods with the cat in her arms. "It's alright, Pharaoh," she whispered as she ran. "I'm Onaca! I'm here to rescue you!"
As the girls disappeared into the forest, a small ball on light floated to the other side of the branch it had been hovering behind.
"Oh dear. That was close!"
A/N: I think in the series Pharaoh is actually a female but for this fic Pharaoh is a boy so he can have fan girls! To the requested Chazz and North Academy fan girls – I promise they will be in the next chapter (which will also be longer)! I have a really good idea but it didn't work in this chappie… Anyway, remember if you have a name of a fan girl and who you'd like her to be after, just drop me a line:P Thanks for reading!!!
